METHOD OF COMBINING ELEVATED OVENS WITH COOKING OR OTHER STOVES.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 2,235, dated August 28, 1841.

To all 107mm it may concern Be it known that I, SAMUEL B. SIAULD- ING,of Brandon, in the county of Rutland and State of Vermont, have made animprovement in the manner of combining elevated ovens with cooking orother stoves, by which improvement they may be attached to stoves ofnearly every description, whether originally made for the purpose ofcooking or for heating apartments only; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full and exact description thereof.

In my improved mode of attaching elevated ovens to stoves, the ovensthemselves are of the same kind with those in ordinary use, and whichare constructed either in an oval, or a cylindrical form. In adaptingthe elevated oven to stoves not originally intended to have themappended thereto, I construct what I denominate a connecting pipe, whichis of a peculiar form; the lower end of it has an opening of such sizeas to fit on to the collar, or rim, of the stove to which the stove pipeis ordinarily fitted. The upper end of this connecting pipe, which is tobe attached to the lower side of the oven, is widened out so as toembrace two openings which lead from it into the flue that surrounds theelevated oven; through these openings the heated air from the stovepasses into said flue at a suitable distance from the center and ends ofthe oven to insure the regular diffusion of heat. When the elevated ovenis not to be used, and it is desired to carry the heated air directly tothe exit pipe, itis made to pass along a flat flue which encircles onehalf of the oven, the course of the draft being governed by means ofsuitable dampers. By means of this flat flue, the apparatus is renderedpeculiarly compact.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1, is a back view of the elevatedoven, with the connecting pipe by means of which it is to be attached toa stove.

A, A, is the body of the oven, and B, the connecting pipe, the lower endB, of which pipe is to be left open, and is to be of such size as to fiton to the neck, or collar, intended to receive the stove pipe, when suchneck, or collar, is on the upper side of the stove; but when such neck,or collar, is on the back or side plate of the stove, the lower end ofthe connecting pipe is to be closed, and an opening is to be made on thefore side of it, as near as may be to its lower end,

by means of which opening it is to be connected to the neck, or collar,of the stove. The connecting pipe B, may be from 12 to 15 inches inheight, more or less, as may be preferred; in its ascent from its lowerend it gradually widens out, so that at its upper end it may measure 16,or 18 inches from side to side, so as to embrace the two openings,before named, which lead from it into the flue surrounding the oven; itsdepth from front to back may be the same with that of the diameter ofthe collar on to which its lower end is to fit, say from 4 to 6 inches,according to the size of the stove. C, is a flat flue which embraces onehalf of the outer case of the elevated oven, said flue leading from theconnecting pipe B, to the exit pipe D, at the top. There is a valve, ordamper, in this flue, by which it may be closed when desired, in whichcase the draft will be through the oven flue; the handle of this damperis shown at E. There are, also, dampers which close the two openingsleading from the connecting flue B, into the oven flue; these are bothoperated by one rod, the handle of which is shown at F.

Fig. 2, is a transverse section through the middle of the oven anditsappendages in that part. B, is the interior of the connecting pipe; C,the flat flue leading from it to the exit pipe D. The damper in thisflue is seen at E. G, G, is the flue surrounding the oven; H, theopening on the side of the connecting flue, when it is intended toconnect it with a stove having the neck or collar, for the smoke, orexit pipe on one side of it. K, is a leg which may be used to sustainthe oven.

Fig. 3, shows the under side of the oven with the connecting piperemoved. I, I, are the two openings leading into the oven flue, andwhich may be closed by the dampers F, F.

Having thus, fully described the nature of my improvement, by which Iadapt an elevated oven to stoves of every kind, which have a neck, orcollar, to receive a smoke, or exit pipe, what I claim therein as of myinvention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The manner herein described of combining the elevated oven with thestove by means of a connecting pipe, constructed and arranged in themanner set forth; that is to say, having an opening at its lower endadapted to the neck, or collar, of the stove,

and widening out at its upper end so as to the passage of the heated airfrom the stove, embrace the two openings leading into the so as todirect it through the oven flue, or oven flue. I through the flue C, atpleasure. The whole 2. I also claim, in combination with the apparatusbeing constructed, combined and 5 foregoing, the flat flue C, leadingfrom the arranged substantially in the manner herein 15 connecting pipeB, to the exit pipe D, and made known.

embracing the outer case of the oven in its SAMUEL B. SPAULDING.passage, said flue being furnished with a lVitnesses: valve, or damper,which, in combination TI-Ios P. JONES,

10 with the valves, or dampers, F, will govern W. THOMPSON.
